Life Lesson 5

Spotlight or not, always have attention.

Siren liked operating behind the scenes. When things went her way, it filled her void heart with emotion. She wouldn't say it was love, but it was pretty damn close. Just like now, the penguin and Riddler were meeting with the Joker in an abandoned, unclaimed warehouse. This was a territory battle, one she forgot to mention to the other parties. But they were smart. They all knew when she summoned them, it would never be fill in the underworld. No, more like, she would never let it.

"Oh my! What's two plus one?" The Riddler questioned, but didn't give the other two a chance. He pulled out his cane, a glare etching his face, "An unwanted crowd."

"Whaddya mean?! Didn't you know!?" Penguin squealed in anger, but they all knew. How couldn't they.

"Hey doll," the Joker turned towards her, hoping that was where she was, "What's the meaning of this?"

Penguin snickered, realizing something, "Are you her new pet?"

Riddler joined in, "Oh dear. She does seem to go through them quite fast." He couldn't help but join in. But they both knew they were playing with fire. The two laughing hyenas jumped, as Joker only glared, when a wooden crate fell in the middle of them, barely missing the twos heads. Heels echoed as Siren walked out of the dark, coming into the light on the catwalk.

"Now boys," she cooed, loving how they squirmed for different reasons. "I never beckon you for no reason other than some much wanted fun." Her smile turned Cheshire, and the two old pets knew what she meant. They had each done it, and now it seemed to be the Jokers turn.

"Yes ma'am," Penguin would never admit it, but Siren had his full respect. She had never steered him wrong in the 3years they were partnered, and knew the Riddler felt the same. The penguin and the Riddler opened up the crate, revealing exactly what they thought she had in mind.

"What's going on?" The Joker glared, taking note that the other two pulled out something from the crate, and hid it from his wandering eyes.

"Carny, we should tell you," Penguin started, but joker flew back unsuspectingly.

The Riddler rode his newly acquired item, "Momma boss doesn't like to lose."

In that moment, the joker had taken everything in. Siren's hush hush about the meeting, her being on the catwalk, the two ex pets having new weapons to fight. He harshly glared at her as he dodged the new oncoming attack, "Sweet cheeks! Just you wait! I don't like being toyed with!"

Siren couldn't help but squirm in her spot as she watched the battle. She already anticipated the winner, and she was always right. Her eyes followed his every move as he twisted and dodged, throwing smoke bombs and flower needles here and there. She watched closely in adoration as sweat trickled down his face. How she remembered the sweat from previous engagements, and hope it would happen again quite soon. She loved that the Joker wasn't afraid to talk back, but knew well enough when it was enough. Even now, she watched carefully as he panted, the other two passed out in a small puddle of their blood. He rode his head and heatedly glared, but that soon turned into a deviously sexy smile. "Oh sweet cheeks," he sang, his feet tapping the cement floor as he made his way closer. Siren stared unblinking, her orbs memorizing his. "Come show Daddy how it's really done." She smiled in pure bliss and lust, knowing exactly what he wanted. She rose a leg onto the railing and leapt off, landing perfectly into his arms.

As they both made their way back, they couldn't stop staring at each other, knowing the night was going to be eventful, and loud.
